Genital Piercings

Genital piercings can be performed on both men and women and there is a huge range of piercing placements that you can get. Everyone's anatomy is different and genital piercings are very dependent on individual anatomy. Many people will find that they are unable to get certain genital piercings, although an experienced piercing will be able to help you find the best genital piercing for your anatomy and preferences.

Most genital piercings heal well and relatively rapidly, thanks to the plentiful blood supply to this area. Genital piercings should be kept clean, dry and cool and we recommend abstaining from sexual activity until your piercing is completely healed. As long as these conditions are met, most genital piercings require simple cleaning with saline solution. Whichever genital piercing you get it is important to watch out for signs of infection and treat any infections straight away. Infected genital piercings can lead to cystitis or other more serious infections, so consult a body piercer or doctor as soon as possible.

Some genital piercings are designed to increase pleasure while others are simply aesthetic. It is important to consider how your genital piercing will be affected by your lifestyle before getting it. Individual preferences vary so we recommend discussing this with an experienced body piercer. A genital piercing may make you more susceptible to sexually transmitted diseases, especially during unprotected sex. For this reason it is very important to abstain until the piercing is fully healed and to use adequate protection even after healing is over.
